Sweater Project

Good morning, everyone. This morning’s post is graphics-heavy, so go get yourself a cup of coffee and give it a second to load.
I thought I’d give everyone a quick tour of my apartment and show you all those projects I told you about the other day.

Got your coffee? I do. Let’s begin, shall we?

Here’s the bed, and up in the corner is the B(l)og jacket. I sometimes pick it up and do a row or two when I’m reading or listening to the radio in bed. It also comes to the movies with me a lot, since it is about as mindless as you can get without doing a garter stitch potholder.

Across from the bed, on what I like to call the Laundry Futon, you’ll find the soon-to-be sweater. As you can see, absolutely no progress on this yet. I haven’t even sorted out the bulky Sirdar yarn from some Debbie Bliss that’s in there. The Debbie Bliss is ultimately going to become some handwarmers, but I’m not even thinking about that now.

Now, into the next room. Here’s what passes for my workstation. Everything a geek needs - laptop, printer, scanner, swift. And the green blob in the middle is the beginning of a glitten. See, Stacey? I’m working on it! Really!

Back to the bed for a second. Here’s the caper hat I started last week. One of my office mates reminded me on Wednesday that I had never made him a hat. See, there was this period about three years ago when my company was still small enough that it was just at the edge of practical to consider making hats for everyone. We had thirty people then. We have ten times that many now. But Rob has been there a darn long time, almost as long as me, so I figured he deserves one. I ran out of the green yarn that makes up most of the body, so I threw in the stripe with some leftover Lamb’s Pride Worsted from Lin’s caper hat. Now I’m finishing the crown using the green stuff. I think this will be done today.

And finally, here’s where I take all the pictures you normally see on this blog. My sofa. My sofa rocks. All hail the sofa.
And on the sofa, from left to right, you see my mighty Aran sweater, the garter stitch scarf, the candle flame shawl (still in thong form - or, as Michelle would say, “panties”) and finally the Sooper Sekrit Projekt.

The only critter missing from this menangerie is the tandem knitting project that my friend and I are doing together. That’s probably going to start later this month. Hopefully I’ll have a couple things done by then.
